Unfortunately, knots can be bulky and can show through from the back of knitting. They also can come undone quite easily, often ruining a treasured garment. The best solution to handle loose yarn ends is to weave them into the wrong side of the knitting. With a darning needle and following figure 1, weave the ends of the yarn in and out through several rows in one direction, then repeat in the opposite direction. This will hold a loose yarn end more securely than the tightest knot! On medium and finer weight fabrics weaving may be done on a diagonal to avoid a linear "echo" of the yarn on the front of the work. I find in most cases, though, this isn't necessary.
